sslutil: handle ui.insecureconnections in validator

Right now, web.cacerts=! means one of two things:

1) Use of --insecure
2) No CAs could be found and were loaded (see sslkwargs)

This isn't very obvious and makes changing behavior of these
different scenarios independent of the other impossible.

This patch changes the validator code to explicit handle the
case of --insecure being used.

As the inline comment indicates, there is room to possibly change
messaging and logic here. For now, we are backwards compatible.

When Mercurial accepts more than one revision, they may be specified
individually, or provided as a topologically continuous range,
separated by the ":" character.

The syntax of range notation is [BEGIN]:[END], where BEGIN and END are
revision identifiers. Both BEGIN and END are optional. If BEGIN is not
specified, it defaults to revision number 0. If END is not specified,
it defaults to the tip. The range ":" thus means "all revisions".

If BEGIN is greater than END, revisions are treated in reverse order.

A range acts as a closed interval. This means that a range of 3:5
gives 3, 4 and 5. Similarly, a range of 9:6 gives 9, 8, 7, and 6.
